Saturday night marked the grandeur of the Consid Gala 2023. A gathering of 1500 individuals from Consid, external partners, and esteemed award winners convened at Stockholm City Hall to revel in this year's triumphs in both the company and the realm of digital development.
– Undoubtedly, this was one of the most triumphant Consid Galas to date. It’s truly fantastic to host such a celebration for our employees. At Consid, we relish in commemorating our successes, and despite the challenging global landscape, we reflect on an exceptional 2023. We’ve secured our position as a Gazelle company for the tenth time, a Career company for the ninth, clinched the title of Sweden’s best employer for the third consecutive year, and are poised to surpass a turnover of 2.6 billion for the year. This, coupled with the incredible colleagues who make it all possible, was cause for celebration,” enthused Consid’s CEO and founder, Peter Hellgren.
Approximately 1500 individuals graced Stockholm City Hall for the annual Consid Gala. The atmosphere was electric, charged with a palpable sense of anticipation and marked by numerous joyous reunions.
– As a sizable company employing nearly 2000 individuals, orchestrating an evening where we can physically connect is incredibly gratifying and a pivotal aspect of the occasion. In times like these, amid a tumultuous global landscape, it feels especially rewarding to gather with those we hold dear and commemorate the shared successes,” articulated Peter Hellgren.
Seven awards were bestowed, encompassing internal accolades such as Region of the Year, outstanding projects, Consid Ambassador, and Employee of the Year. External recognitions included distinctions like eQualizer of the Year, digital rising stars, digital influencer of the Year, alongside the War Child awards, presented in collaboration with the children’s rights organization, War Child.
